Infectious disease in the Pleistocene: Old friends or old foes?

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 182, Issue 4, Page 513-531, December 2023., 2023
Sources of evidence for studying infectious diseases of humans and other Pleistocene hominins. From top to bottom: DNA analysis of humans and hominins, modern and ancient, including the analysis of genomes at a population scale; palaeopathology, such as osteolytic skeletal lesions resulting from infection, and the study of mummified tissues or palaeo ...

Microarchaeological approach to underwater stratigraphy of submerged settlements: A case study of Atlit‐Yam Pre‐Pottery Neolithic site, off the Carmel Coast, Israel

Geoarchaeology, Volume 38, Issue 5, Page 534-564, September/October 2023., 2023
Abstract The investigation of submerged archaeological sites faces numerous logistical challenges in the recovery of stratigraphic sequences and, as a result, is often restricted to surface deposits limiting the application of geoarchaeology. This paper outlines a new integrated field and microanalytical methodological protocol to investigate deep ...

A global synthesis of ecosystem services provided and disrupted by freshwater bivalve molluscs

Biological Reviews, Volume 97, Issue 5, Page 1967-1998, October 2022., 2022
ABSTRACT Identification of ecosystem services, i.e. the contributions that ecosystems make to human well‐being, has proven instrumental in galvanising public and political support for safeguarding biodiversity and its benefits to people. Here we synthesise the global evidence on ecosystem services provided and disrupted by freshwater bivalves, a ...

Rewilded horses in European nature conservation - a genetics, ethics, and welfare perspective. [PDF]

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
ABSTRACT In recent decades, the integration of horses (Equus ferus) in European rewilding initiatives has gained widespread popularity due to their potential for regulating vegetation and restoring natural ecosystems. However, employing horses in conservation efforts presents important challenges, which we here explore and discuss.

On‐site non‐destructive determination of the remanent magnetization of archaeological finds using field magnetometers

Archaeological Prospection, Volume 29, Issue 2, Page 205-227, April/June 2022., 2022
Abstract The determination of the natural remanent magnetization (NRM) of archaeological features can be used for magnetic modelling, joining of shards, archaeomagnetic dating or the investigation of the firing–cooling–collapsing order of ancient buildings.

Performance and automation of ancient DNA capture with RNA hyRAD probes

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 22, Issue 3, Page 891-907, April 2022., 2022
Abstract DNA hybridization‐capture techniques allow researchers to focus their sequencing efforts on preselected genomic regions. This feature is especially useful when analysing ancient DNA (aDNA) extracts, which are often dominated by exogenous environmental sources.

Neanderthals on the Lower Danube: Middle Palaeolithic evidence in the Danube Gorges of the Balkans

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 37, Issue 2, Page 142-180, February 2022., 2022
Abstract The article presents evidence about the Middle Palaeolithic and Middle to Upper Palaeolithic transition interval in the karst area of the Danube Gorges in the Lower Danube Basin. We review the extant data and present new evidence from two recently investigated sites found on the Serbian side of the Danube River – Tabula Traiana and Dubočka ...

Sagittal suture morphological variation in human archaeological populations

The Anatomical Record, Volume 304, Issue 12, Page 2811-2822, December 2021., 2021
Abstract Cranial sutures join the many bones of the skull. They are therefore points of weakness and consequently subjected to the many mechanical stresses affecting the cranium. However, the way in which this impacts their morphological complexity remains unclear.

A multiproxy approach to studying a large prehistoric enclosure in Ojców, Kraków Upland, Poland

Archaeological Prospection, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 543-563, October/December 2021., 2021
Abstract Due to the presence of multiple caves and rock shelters as well as flint outcrops, Ojców Upland is a region with an exceptionally high concentration of prehistoric human settlement traces. It has attracted archaeologists for over 150 years, leading to what was considered to have been a proper prospection of the area.
